3rd ANNUAL DRESS GIVEAWAY
In early January 2019, 23-year-old Lucy Reff was about to start her final semester at
Upstate Medical University, where she was training as a respiratory therapist. She was
looking forward to several exciting milestones ahead. She was engaged to her
long-time boyfriend, Skyler, and they were in the midst of planning their wedding. She
had just chosen her wedding dress. Four days later, on January 12, 2019, Lucy passed
away and became an organ donor. Just prior to surgery at 2:50 am on January 15,
2019, Lucy was escorted to the elevator through one of the hospital’s first honor walks.
At 9:00 am, the family had learned that Lucy was able to donate her heart, liver, and
both kidneys, saving the lives of four people. We Love Lucy and you will too!
Join us for a Dress Giveaway in Lucy’s Honor. Come say “Reff” to The Dress”
We have hundreds of new-tags on dresses for this event. Wedding gowns, prom dresses, military ball
dresses, pageant dresses etc…
Make an affordable donation and take home a beautiful dress or two.
